Great firm with a brilliant culture - werkgeversreview Intern Investment Management bij Lloyds Development Capital

Can’t think of any plus points.

Misogynistic, sexist and work environment, culture of bullying, unrealistic expectations and aggressive management. Only female staff who are viewed as an object of desire are treated with favour (and yet still disrespected) by the predominantly male staff. Ageism also exists - the only PA aged 40+ was forced out of the company despite all her years experience because she was viewed as being of less value, even though she worked harder and for longer hours than the others, aware of the disadvantage and prejudice against her. Men who work there think they’re in Wolf of Wall Street and will behave inappropriately with female members of staff when they get them alone / think no one is looking and at staff socials/events. I had been expected to stay back and work late (unpaid) but I haven’t felt safe to do so. I was bullied and harassed by my manager and colleagues who spied on me, asked others for information about me and was verbally abusive and aggressive to me - it was a campaign against me that continued for months and created such a stressful environment. Sought support from HR who gaslighted me and the information was used against me and I was intimidated for speaking out.

There are no pros at LDC

Would not work here unless you want anxiety and to be bullied out of a job because your manager was too scared to tell you they had been asked to get rid of you, rather than do the proper thing and manage you out. Loads of underhand stuff going on, cliquey and look down their noses at you.
